Also just listened to this live version I had never heard before. Too bad Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrah fell out, can only imagine how great that band would have been.

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I think many of the best ones have already been said - Albatross, all those Booker T and the MGs classics, the beautiful Samba Pa Ti from Santana etc so I’ll throw in a few different ones

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I guess these can’t really count but worth a shout?

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Fans such as me might remember JW’s theme from seventies radio

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Before football claimed it - a reggae classic from the late 60s

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

And my final offering - I think - aims to bring a touch of class to the proceedings(great theme by the way DW66) - if you’ve ever had a brief encounter with Eric Carmen’s All By Myself you might recognise this one

The Brilliant John Wilson Orchestra, a mainstay of The BBC Proms and I've been lucky enough to see them three times at The Dome (never been able to get a ticket to see them at The Proms, too popular). This is from his 2012 Proms concert 'Broadway Sound' and I'm not alone in liking this piece, I've included a version recorded by Mick Ronson.

The John Wilson Orchestra again, this is from the film score to Taras Bulba by Franz Waxman and is a piece called The Ride of The Cossacks. The sequence in the film featured the Cossack tribes, led by Yul Brynner, riding across the Russian Steps joining together to do battle in Dubno, stirring stuff. Crap film but this bit was pretty good.

Obviously this needs to be visualised as being played in a Hangar on some East Anglian Airbase in 1944 with the crowd sitting all over a B17.

Oh and with Jimmy Stewart as Glenn Miller!

What a memory jog, I used to play this and other Miller stuff all the time, but haven't for years.
Time for a revisit maybe.
